Kesadaran Sejarah Mesir...
Historically, Egyptians have considered themselves as distinct from
'Arabs' and even at present rarely do they make that identification in
casual contexts; il-'arab [the Arabs] as used by Egyptians refers mainly to
the inhabitants of the Gulf states... Egypt has been both a leader of panArabism and a site of intense resentment towards that ideology.
Egyptians had to be made, often forcefully, into "Arabs" [during the
Nasser era] because they did not historically identify themselves as such.
Egypt was self-consciously a nation not only before pan-Arabism but also
before becoming a colony of the British Empire. Its territorial continuity
since ancient times, its unique history as exemplified in its pharaonic past
and later on its Coptic language and culture, had already made Egypt into
a nation for centuries. Egyptians saw themselves, their history, culture
and language as specifically Egyptian and not “Arab.”
